We used Blinker 7 to link the progs. Griff, it doesn't seem to matter who opens the files first, whoever it is it appears to "hang on" to them. Is there a tool we could use to replicate some sort of interrogation of the .dbf without using our DOS front-end? That way I could narrow down the...

Thanks for the responses. I tried to change ownership from the server itself (to Administrator) but that didn't make any difference. I haven't had a chance to try it the way you suggested Griff. TonHu - I tried the Opportunistic solution on the server and two workstations and tested from them...

Hello We've been having a problem with DBF databases running on a Windows 2003 Server in a workgroup environment. The (XP) client machines run Clipper 5.2 programs, often doing massive amounts of reads on large .DBF files - when only one client is doing this it runs very fast, taking circa 15...

Sorry wrong forum

Hello We've been having a problem with DBF databases running on a Windows 2003 Server in a workgroup environment. The (XP) client machines run Clipper 5.2 programs, often doing massive amounts of reads on large .DBF files - when only one client is doing this it runs very fast, taking circa 15...

Thank you very much. I will try with the new and improved version and see if we still get any hiccups!

The .bat file gets the database to output the data (.txt) file. It seems to make no difference which one is run first, and apparently it isn't always the second one which ggoes wrong, it can be third or fourth... These scripts were written some time ago (not by me) for an earlier edition of...

Hi I have a strange problem in Word when doing a MailMerge on one of our pc's (the process works fine on all others...). I have these two merges which need to be run fairly regularly: Public Sub AccxIR35() Dim ans WordBasic.Shell "s:\bc\BAX.bat" ans = WordBasic.MsgBox("Merge Contracts?", 3) If...

Turns out they had a new firewall which was configured by the supplier and it was preventing emails as described in Dennis' post

Would this also affect him if sending via DNS? He says he's tried both that and through their SMTP server but has problems either way...

Hi A client of mine is having problems with his Exchange server (5.5 SP4 on WinNT4 SP6) - he is able to send very small emails (one or two words) but anything larger than that sits in the outqueue and generates a NDR after 72 hours. He has tried sending via his ISP's SMTP and through DNS. He...

Hi I am trying to send a "pause" command from the Pause/Break key to a DOS Clipper program running on a Win2k server over VNC (actually UltraVNC which allows keycodes to be sent). Does anyone have a solution? A decimal keycode would be good, but a key combination would probably work best...

I have the same problem with an Epson EPL6200L on both a D-Link DP300+ and a Netgear PS101, and Epson won't help when "connected to 3rd party devices". Disabling bidirectional printing does not help with this problem.

I see where you're coming from. From a purely technical point of view though, is there any cpu overhead from using PCI devices?

Hi, I am currently using a USB ADSL modem to connect to my ISP which is fine. However, I am aware that USB places a 10-15% overhead on my processor (a lowly XP1800+) so I was wondering what overhead, if any, an internal PCI ADSL modem would create? Would it be worth spending some money on some...
